As part of the ArcGIS Pro 2.3 release, the Image Analyst extension has been expanded to contain several advanced capabilities and features. 

Key new capabilities users will see are: 

• Machine Learning and Image Classification – A Deep Learning toolset has been introduced to enable users to classify remote sensing imagery using statistical and machine learning classification methods. 

• Motion Imagery (Full Motion Video) – Motion Imagery has been added in ArcGIS Pro 2.3 to enable the management and interactive use of video with embedded geospatial metadata. It is the evolution of the FMV add-in for ArcMap. And, most of the functionality available in the FMV add-in for ArcMap is now fully integrated into ArcGIS Pro 2.3 

• Raster Functions – The list of raster functions accessible in ArcGIS Pro 2.3 has been expanded. One new function is Focal Statistics which can be used for a variety of purposes from data smoothing and noise reduction to edge detection for identifying roads and buildings.
